WRAPPER FOR CLOTHING, ETC.

Application filed October 23, 1922.

'1 0 (0/7 whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JoHN D. Home, a citizen of the United States,residing at Cleveland, in the county of Guyahoga and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Wrappers for Clothing,Etc, of which the following is a s )ecification.

This invention relates to wrappers or envelopes, for clothing or thelike. The wrapper is made from asin 'le piece of heavy manilla wrappingpaper or the like. The paper forming the wrapper is cut to form a mainor body portion and flaps which are adapted to be folded over onto thebody portion, to confine clothing etc. and are held in this position bymeans of fasteners consisting of metal buttons, to some of which areattached pieces of cord. After the wra iiper has been folded, enclosingclothing, the strings or cords are pulled tight and wrapped around thebuttons on the opposite flaps to hold the wrapper in closed condition.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Fig.1 is a View of the wrapper in closed position, the strings being; madesecure to the buttons. Fig. 2 is a view showing the two end flaps closedand fastened. F 3 is a view showing the Jper in open position.

"ihe v-xrapper made of a single piece of heavy paper. which is cut so asto form a main portion ti. two end tiaps T and 8, and In each of theflaps is one or more metal buttons 11 which are used in fastening thewrapper in closed condition. To the button in the flap 7 is attached acord 12 and to the button or buttons in the flap 9 are attached cords13.

In operation, the vcontents are first placed on the main portion of thewrapper 6. Then the flaps 7 and 8 are folded, on the dotted lines. overthe same, and are held in this position by means of the string 12,attached to the flap 7, being wound around the button Serial No.596,291.

11 on the flap 8, (see Fig. The iiap 1.0 is then folded up, on thedotted line and over the flaps 7 and S, and the flap 9, carrying" thestrings, is folded down and over the flap 10. The strings 13 are thenmade secure to the buttons in flap 10, and the wrapper is completelyclosed, as shown in Fig. 1.

This 'rapper will be found very convenient for the purposes described,and the same can be cheaply and quickly manufactured, and sold at a verylow price. Inasmuch as the flaps are disconnected except where they jointhe body of the blank, the wrapper is adapted to contain a larger orsmaller quantity of clothing or the like.

These tiaps are each decreased in width toward the free end, whereby tofacilitate the folding of the wrapper, in that there will be no tendencyfor adjacent corners of the flaps to obstruct the path taken by a flapin its folding.

The invention is not limited to the disclosure described but may bemodified in various ways within the scope of the fol lowing claim.

I claim:

A wrapper comprising a one-piece paper blank of substantiallyrectangular configuration, a flap at each edge, each flap beingdecreased in width towards its free edge whereby to facilitate folding,cord carried by one end flap, a button carried by the opposite end flapfor co-action with the cord, a pair of longitudinally spaced cordscarried by one of the side flaps and a pair of spaced buttons carried bythe opposite flap and adapted to co-act with said spaced cords to securethe flaps together.

In testimony whereof, I atlix my signa ture in presence of twowitnesses.
